It doesn’t feel long ago at all that Assassin’s Creed III came out – maybe because it only released October 2012 – and now Ubisoft are prepping for the latest addition to the series dubbed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

Is Assassin’s Creed fatigue setting in or can this new, pirate-themed installment refresh the series?

In the trailer below, we see a fresh face with Edward Kenway, a pirate trained by assassin’s, who will also be the protagonist of Black Flag. One pirate is talking to his buddies, regaling them with tales of Kenway and how fearsome he is.

The trailer hints at underwater segments, a larger focus on naval battles, lush jungles and a flashier, fluid combat system.

As seen above, even the pirate has the willies where Kenway is concerned.

Do you think Black Flag will be enough to revitalise the series? Let us know in the usual place below.
